Styling Guidelines

• shadcn-svelte-extras: Additional components for shadcn-svelte
• Svelte: Svelte 5 framework

Upstream Grounding

When styling behavior depends on shadcn-svelte component structure, class merging, variants, or Bits UI composition, use source-backed grounding before relying on memory. If DeepWiki MCP is available, ask a narrow question against huntabyte/shadcn-svelte; for extras component behavior, ask against ieedan/shadcn-svelte-extras. If DeepWiki is unavailable or the repo is not indexed, use upstream source or official docs directly. Treat DeepWiki as orientation, then verify decisive details against local @epicenter/ui wrappers, installed types, source, or official docs before changing code.

Skip DeepWiki for ordinary Tailwind utilities and repo-local layout rules already documented below.
